The latter, an iconic housing development built for Montreal’s 1967 International and Universal Exposition, or Expo 67, features modular units not unlike the ones depicted in Ingels latest effort.

Ingels is no stranger to iconic design. His recent assignments include two striking forthcoming Manhattan developments: 2 World Trade Center, a gleaming 80-plus-storey tower with cascading sky gardens, and the 65-storey terrace-laden skyscraper The Spiral.

Bjarke Ingels Group’s inaugural Toronto proposal includes commercial space and more than 500 units spread out over the 725,000-square-foot site, according to the Globe & Mail.

In Canada, Ingels has already made his mark on Calgary’s skyline with Telus Sky and Vancouver’s Vancouver House, both residential developments from Westbank.
